Foundation Practical Cookery Student Book: Level 1 - Tapa blanda

Over 45 years, Practical Cookery has established itself as a must have for all catering students. Now, for the first time, an edition of Practical Cookery has been written especially for Foundation-level students. The book includes:
- Plain, simple language and terminology
- Over 100 recipes
- Easy to read design and layout
- Hundreds of clear photos and diagrams, including every finished dish, key commodities and step-by-step sequences
- Index and glossary that are clear and accessible
- Clear mapping to NVQ and VRQ qualifications

Foundation Practical Cookery will not overestimate students' ability level or assume too much knowledge.
